[Help] Unable to delete File System Snapshots
Posted: 06 Oct 2025, 01:25
I have a f4-242 with TOS 6 with four drives, but one one drive has this issue.
I've started to configure the F4 with each drive as an individual drive not as raid.
One drive is full, but I've figured it is full due to BTRFS File System Snapshots.
All other drives have their snapshots deleted and reclaimed their space.
However Volume 3 is not able to be deleted. I have 15 file system snapshots listed within the "Backup" app currently and when deleting individually or as a group no errors occur, but they remain and the drive is remaining full. The drive is not showing as locked or any other issue.
I'm not using any other backup snapshots or shares.
I've tried to review as much as I can and understand I cant delete these from ssh (not that I fully understand SSH)
I'm struggling on this as I don't have a full space to share the data across other drives without time consuming transfer.
Does anyone have any ideas ?
